Best Practices for Structuring General Transit Feed Specification Data
The Best Practices data are written in YAML variables. More information about YAML syntax and structure may be found here. Each variable is defined as follows:
field_name: The name of the GTFS field being describedrecommendations: An array of the recommendations provided for each field_nameID: A unique identifying integer of the corresponding recommendation.tags: An array of System Tags used to denote that the recommendation will assist with the described task. Values include 'human-readability', 'trip-planners', 'timetables', and 'accessibility'.text: The text of the recommendation. This variable should begin with a vertical bar ( | ) followed by an indented newline. This will preserve any equally indented newlines in the text. Simple Markdown is allowed and any HTML should be avoided.example_table: An optional variable, this allows for example tables (or any other HTML entity) to be placed immediately after the recommendation text. This variable should begin with a vertical bar ( | ) followed by an indented newline. This will preserve any equally indented newlines in the text. Markdown will not function in this variable and should be exclusively used for HTML elements.
Elements of Best Practices not in a table may be found below the YAML front matter and should be written in Markdown.
